I liked being alone or with extremely close friends when tripping. Never had a good experience in public.

Re: 2001

Spoiler for Spoiler:
Kubrick designed the black monolith based on the aspect ratio of the widescreens in theaters back when it was release - but rotated 90 degrees. At the beginning of the movie (and during the midway intermission) the movie screen is completely black while sublime music plays. Exactly the same as how the monolith's in the movie 'sings' to the apes and astronauts.


So beyond sublime and brilliant.
